Iran's foreign minister has accused the United States of giving Israel the 'green light' for a strike on its consulate building in Syria that resulted in the deaths of seven Iranian military officials, including two generals. The attack, widely attributed to Israel, has heightened tensions in the region.
Hossein Amirabdollahian reiterated Tehran's commitment to responding to the strike, which targeted Iranian military officials supporting militant groups in Gaza and along the Lebanon border. The incident, which claimed the life of Gen. Mohammad Reza Zahedi, a senior official in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard’s Quds Force, has raised concerns about the conflict spreading across the Middle East.
